HEATING ANI) VENTILATING SYSTEM.

Application filed September To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, JULES CHARLES VnrL, a citizen of the United States.and residing at No. 9 Hudson Place, VVeehawken, New Jersey, haveinvented new and useful Im* provements in Heating and VentilatingSystems,`of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improved means for heating, Ventilating andcooling interior spaces in buildings, ships and other struetures,together with improved means whereby heating, Ventilating and coolingmay be accomplished in a superior and simpler manner and with lessoperating expense.

I carry out my invention as hereafter described and claimeel andillustrated, in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure (1) is a view partly in section and partly in elevation,illustrating features of my invention.

(2) illustrates a modification of my invention.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all of thefigures of the drawings.

The invention herein set forth is an im" provement of certain featuresheretofore embodied in an application tiled November 20, 1907. SerialNo. 403045. allowed January 18. 1910, Patent No. 9116889.

I am aware that, prior to my invention, heating and cooling systems havebeen installed in which water and other mediums are circulated by meansof pumps. Also that air washers are made in which the spray water isfirst heated before it goes into the air washer. I. therefore, do notclaim as new any of the above in my invention.

(1) is a' pump operated by an electric motor (7). It electricity is notused. any other form of motive power can be used.

(6) is a heater for the purpose of heating Vthe water circulated inthe.system to the desired temperature. Any oit' the present forms of hotwater heaters can be used. If it is desired to cool the water instead ofheating the same, any suitable refrigerating device can be used insteadof the heater above described.

(26) is an indirect radiator, or other suitable form of radiator, and isused for the purpose of heating or cooling the ail before Specificationof Letters Patent.

12, 1916. Serial No. 119,797.

it goes to the rooms to be heated or cooled. A ny of the present form ofradiators or pipe coils can be used.

(20) is a motor operating fan (21). This motor is operated by the water,or other medium, which circulates in the system.

(2T) is an air washer provided with two sets of spray chambers (27a) and(27h). Spray chamber (27a) is connected to the pressure side of thesystem, while spray chamber (27h) is connected to the discharge pipe ofwater motor (20). Any of the present makes of air washers can be usedwith my system. In using the terms air Washer and spray chamber I wishit understood that this means any apparatus which heats, cools orhumidifies air by means of liquids coming in direct contact with theair.

(31) is a return tank. This tank is connected to the main return line ofthe system. Tank is provided with a water supply from water main ofbuilding and also provided with a vent pipe for the purpose of gettingrid of the air in the system. Tank may, or may not be used as desired.The system normally operates with the tank. If, however, it is desirednot to use the tank, valves 18a) and (18h) are closed and valve (17") isopened.

The operation of my system is as follows Water, or any other suitablemedium, is circulated by means of pump (1) through pipes (2) and (3) toheaters or coolers (6) where the water is heated or cooled to thedesired degree` From there the water goes through pipes (5), (8) and (9)to indirect radiator (26). From indirect radiator (26) the water goesthrough pipes (10), (10), and (10b) to water motor (20). This watermotor operates fan (21).v From this water motor the water goes throughpipe (12) to (26) where the air is heated or cooled to the desireddegree. From this indirect radiator (26) the air is 4blown through flues(29) whichconnect to the rooms which are tobe heated or cooled.

As it is desirable tovary thetemperatureand humidity of the air which isblown into q' ythe rooms by the fan, the operation of the The system isalso arranged so that air washer (27h) can be omitted. In this case thewater from discharge pipe of water motor (20)v is led directly t0 tank(31) without going iirstthrough air Washer (27D). This is accomplishedby opening Valve (14?) i and closingjvalve (12a).

Y On certain days it maybe necessary, on

accountof atmospheric conditions, not to use the fan. In this case thewater motor isshut oil by. closing lvalve (1412*), and vvalve (11%) isvOpened which. putsjair washer (27a) in commission.V In this latterarrangement thejwater leaves the pumpingdevioe and .from there it goesthrough radiator (26) and from` there it'goes through air'washer (27a)and theny again to pumping device (1).

. l Y In the'latter arrangement it is also pos.-

-; sible to .arrange the system so thatan eleotric motor. can be used tooperate fan v(21). The system, using an electric motor, is more fullyshown in Fig. (2) A of drawing.` In

this drawing (20a) is a motor operated by electricity.

On certain days, on account ot atmosphericconditions, it may bedesirable not to use the heater,` or cooler (6).` In this case itis putout of commission by closingvalves (3?.)fand (4a) and openingvalve (4J).

Instead of taking thefreshair from-the outside ofthe building, as shownon draw- .ing,lit,canv be arranged to take the air from within thebuilding'.Y

u VThe liquid which goes throughA the air washer will heat and'cool theair to a greater or lesser Vextentdepending on the temperature-of theliquid. Y

4The@motive 'power of the pump ycan-:be

` steam, gas, or` electricity. :When a steam pumpis .used the .exhauststeam' from Ysame can be used-for the. purpose of .heating vthe y liquidvwhich circulates throughvthe system.

. ,The dampers in the airconnections of the system lcan beyso-arrangedir-that,they will epee: @Mesaba da.eigenaresse which ismaintained on the system. The valves on the pipe lines can be voperatedin a similar manner.

When the system is in op'eration'the' active circulation obtained in themain low pipe (8) also causes a rapid circulation in the direct radiator(19).

In the drawings submitted with these specifications I only show one airwasher, one indirect radiator, and one fanfouttr, I wish it understood,in the actual installation of my system, any'number of air washers,indirect radiators, or fanoutlits canfbeused.

I do not desire to be-understood as'limiting myself to the specificconstruction shown and described further than las specified in theclaims, as it will be apparentthatthe construction mightV be modiied andchanged in. Vmany ways rwithout departing from the spirit and scope ofmy invention. Y
